Preoperative Use of Pantoprazole for Prevention of Post Operative Nausea and Vomiting in Gynecologic Surgery

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to see if pantoprazole (a proton pump inhibitor used for acid reflux/heart burn) can reduce nausea and vomiting after gynecologic surgery in women between the ages of 18 and 79. Researchers will compare a placebo to the active medication. Participants will be asked to take three pills around their surgery, two taken before and one taken the night after.
